The Clan McKinnon

John gained confidence over the weeks and went on the big balance beam - with a little help! I was very comfortable swinging - and even trying the big rings! And doing my best to climb the rope! I think it's safe to say both of our favorite parts was the trampoline and foam pit! Here's John jumping down the ramp and bypassing a friend to jump! And here's me just getting to the pit as fast as possible!

Daddy's Mini Me! Not so patiently waiting at the coffee shop for the foolishness to begin! Grandma bought us fun headgear to fit in with all the crazy FoolMoon costumes. Eve and I couldn't take our eyes off the interesting characters that were roaming around the streets. This picture doesn't show it in all it's glory but the balloon unicorn was definitely our favorite of the night!

Turns out the Easter bunny hopped to our house and brought some goodies - new books, swimsuits, markers just to name a few! We met family at the country club for brunch - the practice green turned into a place for kids to play! And be a little mischevious! Also, a place to just lounge around. Silly times with our cousins - - and our grandparents! Back at home, we had our own egg hunt. Eve was a good helper. But I found plenty of eggs on my own!

After a morning in ski class, Mommy & Daddy picked John & I up to ski the afternoon together. I went with Daddy and mastered the bigger greens and even some blues! I'm a big time skier now! John stayed with Mommy on the flatter greens and did a great job going all by himself! Check it out - The best picture with a bunch of restless - and tired - kids we could get! John really liked the popcorn after dinner!

We found an outdoor fire pit that we brought our own s'mores supplies too - we got some jealous looks from passersby. Eve was very happy since she kept complaining that she didn't get to go to Parents Night Out on Friday night back at school - where they were going to make indoor s'mores! I think outdoor s'mores in Colorado was a much better option!

William and I got to be in the same ski class today! We were a bit competitive about getting down the hill first! Meanwhile, Mommy & Daddy had fun skiing with James & Erika. They made it all the way to very top of the mountain! After a full day of ski class, we made one family run together - John's first time on the chairlift! Do you think my goggles look extra big and Mommy's look extra small? Apparently we switched helmets! Family skiing is fun! Leading the way down the hill!

We left Michigan early in the morning and made it to Winter Park by the afternoon! Eve and I explored the resort area and found some colorful chairs to climb on. Our place for the weekend had a great view of the ski slopes! Our friends arrived in time for dinner - and for William to read us bedtime stories! Double bunk beds in the kids room was a big hit!
